Objective To investigate the clinical features, treatments and prognostic factors of rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) in the female genital tract. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 13 cases of RMS in the female genital tract. Clinical characteristics, treatments and prognosis were compared and analyzed statistically. Results The median age was 21.0 years (range, 6 to 54 years). There were 6 cases vaginal RMS and 7 cases cervical RMS, included 11 cases of embryonal RMS (ERMS) and 2 cases of alveolar RMS (ARMS). According to the Federation International of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO)staging system,there were 6 cases of stageⅠ, 3 cases of stageⅡ, 1 case of stageⅢand 3 cases of stage Ⅳ, the median survival time were respectively 112.5, 153.0, 9.0 and 3.5 months. According to the Intergroup Rhabdomyosarcom Study Group (IRSG) staging system, there were 10 cases of stageⅠ and 3 cases of the stage Ⅳ, and their median survival time were respectively 112.5 and 3.5 months. Nine patients received surgery and the median survival time was 108.0 months (range, 9 to 228 months), 6 of them received chemotherapy after surgery and the median survival time was 152.0 months (range, 9 to 228 months), the other 3 cases did not receive any therapy after surgery and the median survival time was 25.0 months (range, 9 to 108 months). Four patients did not receive surgery and the median survival time was 6.3 months (range, 1 to 117 months). There were 2 cases received combined treatment included radiotherapy and the survival time were respectively 4 and 198 months. There were 8 cases who was survival without disease and 5 cases died of cancer. The median survival time in 13 patients was 25.0 months (range, 1 to 228 months) and the 5-year overall survival rate was 58.6%. Conclusions The prognosis of early stage of RMS in the female genital tract is good. While, the prognosis of advanced stage is poor. The standard treatment strategy is combination of surgery and chemotherapy,whether radiotherapy could improve the prognosis still need further study.

Objective:To approach the clinicopathologic characteristics, treatment modalities, and prognosis of the patients with double primary carcinoma of endometrial carcinoma and colorectal carcinoma and analyze the relationship between this disease and Lynch syndrome. Methods:The clinicopathologic and follow-up data of 34 cases with double primary carcinoma of endometrial carci-noma and colorectal carcinoma treated in Cancer Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences were reviewed. Results:The medi-an age of the 34 patients was 51.5 years old (ranging from 39 to 76). Twenty-two of the total cases (22/34, 64.7%) had tumor family his-tory. The pathologic results indicated that 79.4%(27/34) was endometrioid adenocarcinoma. In the 34 cases, 33 were treated by surgical procedure. Of the 33 cases undergoing surgery, 17 patients with endometrial carcinoma and 19 with colorectal carcinoma received fur-ther adjuvant treatment of chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy. The 2-and 5-year survival rates were 84.3%and 63.1%in the 34 cases, respectively. Conclusion:The age of onset is earlier in the patients with double primary carcinoma than in those with sporadic colorec-tal carcinoma. Some cases have cancer family history, and their survival rates are similar to those of the patients with sporadic colorec-tum carcinoma. Diagnosis of some patients with double primary carcinoma may be in line with Lynch syndrome.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of endothelial progenitor cells(EPCs) in ameliorating rat progressive focal segmental glomerular sclerosis(FSGS) model induced by adriamycin.Methods Bone marrow mononuclear cells from male SD rats,after cultured by adherence method,were identified as EPCs.Female SD rats were divided into normal control group,adriamycin induced renal disease(ADR) group,EPCs transplantation group.ADR group and EPCs group underwent unilateral nephrectomy and received 5,3 mg/kg of adriamycin via tail vein 1 week and 2 weeks after operation,while the control group underwent sham operation and received 0.9% sodium chloride solution of equal volume.The whole body irradiation by 5 Gy X ray was done 1 week after the 2nd injection of adriamycin,then immediately 1?106 EPCs were transplanted via tail vein.The rats in control group and ADR group were only injected with 0.9% sodium chloride solution after whole body irradiation.The body weight and urine protein were measured before operation(0 week) and 4(1 week after EPCs transplantation),8,12 and 16 weeks after nephrectomy.Y chromatosome incorporation was detected with in situ hybridization at the 4th and 16th week.The histological and ultrastructural changes of kidney were evaluated at the 16th week.Results At the 4th and 16th weeks,Y chromatosome positive cells could be found incorporation in the area of glomerular and tubular epithelial cells.Since the 4th week,the weight of rats in both ADR group and EPC group became significantly less than that in control group and since the 8th week that in ADR group became less than that in EPC group(P

ObjectiveTo investigate the treatment and safety of interferon ? plus Ribovirin for chronic hepatitis C after kidney transplantation. MethodsFive patients with chronic hepatitis C after kidney transplantation were administered with interferon ? (50 ?g) subcutaneously once a week, plus Ribovirin (600 mg) orally once daily. The levels of HCV-RNA, ALT and serum creatinine in patients’ serum were monitored monthly. ResultsFour in 5 patients presented normal ALT and negative HCV-RNA in serum 12 weeks after treatment, and obtained sustained viral response 24 weeks after interferon ? plus Ribovirin therapy. During treatment, renal graft rejection did not occur. The most frequent side-effects were the decrease of leukocyte and hemoglobin, myalgia and fever, but did not influence the course of treatment. ConclusionCombination of interferon ? with Ribovirin can be a valid therapeutic option in renal transplant recipients with hepatitis C, and shows no influence on the renal function.
